Guidelines for Veda Pathashalas

In order to run the Veda Pathashalas in an organized manner giving importance to

the traditional system of Vedic learning by uccharan (the utterance of teacher for
Upadesha) and anuchaaran (uttering two times by disciples following the way of the
preceptor) MSRVVP has formulated guidelines. These rules will be made effective from
new session i.e. from July 2012. Concerned institutions should follow the guidelines
shown below:

1. Guidelines for selection of teachers

i) In Pathashalas, an eligible Veda teacher will be appointed whose age will

be minimum 21 years and holds the degree of Veda Vibhushan or equivalent, recognized
by the Pratishthan. Priority would be provided by the Pratishthan to those scholars who
bears more experience.

ii) The superannuation age for teachers of Veda, Sanskrit and modern
subjects would be 65 years. Remuneration benefit for teaching work would be payable to
them till the continuity of services normally extendable till the end of the academic
session i.e. March 31st.

2. Guidelines for Sanskrit and Modern Subject Teachers

i) Management of Veda Pathashalas should advertise for the posts of

Sanskrit, Mathematics, English and Social Science teachers in the local newspapers
calling applications within prescribed date. Once applications are received by the
patashala they should send the list of applicants subject wise with the summery along
with the list of local qualified subject experts, mentioning their address and phone no. to
the Pratishthan through fax/email/courier at least 30 days before the date of interview
desired to be arranged.

ii) The age of modern subject teachers must be minimum 25 and should not
exceed 40 years.

iii) Minimum qualification expected for above-mentioned subject Teachers is

M.A. and B.Ed., with minimum 55% of mark. Equivalent degree holders should attach
the Government Order (GO) to prove the equivalence of the degree.
.
iv) Appointment of those having a direct or indirect relationship with
Management Committee or existing staff is strictly prohibited.

3. Examination of the students of Veda-Pathashalas

Examination Forms should be received from the office of the Pratishthan by 30th
September to appear in corresponding academic year. Delay in receipt of examination
forms will not be accepted and concerned institute will be held responsible for the loss of
the year of the student. Supplementary examination for detained students will be held in
the last week of June every year. The students that are declared as detained can appear in
the above mentioned supplementary examination. Students not applied in proper time
may also appear in this supplementary examination. Release of stipend is only possible
then, if he gets promoted in the supplementary examination; however the honorarium of
the teacher will not be affected thereby unless the whole students studying under him are
declared detained.
Pathashalas are required to forward list of pass / fail / absent students along with
the eligible student’s list of final stipend to be paid in March to the Pratishthan. If the
detained students are willing to appear for supplementary examination then their
supplementary examination forms should be sent so as to reach by 30th April positively to
the Pratishthan. In case a student remains absent in the regular examination, due to ill-
health he is required to produce medical certificate duly certified by M.B.B.S. doctor to
the Pratishthan, to qualify him to appear in the supplementary examination.

4. Guidelines for admission of fresh students in Pathashalas and their First

Year Examination

In the pathashalas having more than 50 students, every year doubled no. of out-
going students can be given admission (for example if 5 successfully gets through the
final examination 10 students can be newly admitted). In the perspective of extraordinary
circumstances, permission for admission of more students will have to be sought from the
Pratishthan. In every year, the institutions are required to complete admissions of
students during the period from 1st April to July. The examination of first year students
will be conducted during the period from 1st December to 15th January. In first year 50%
of the syllabus will be kept for evaluation and the remaining 50% syllabus will be
included in the succeeding year. This is only to make the new students familiar with
Vedic pronunciation. This must not become a practice in every year.

5. Guidelines on payment of grants-in-aid and its bifurcations under
